Songtexte

First time I thought of dying I was seven years old
My mothers hands pressed against my mouth
Her rage was silent, no one every knew
We were living in a burning house
Cleaned up the messes in our matching Sunday dresses
Painting the roses red
Climbed through her mirror just trying to be near her
Living was playing dead
Just a girl trying to be a woman
Momma's shoes and her pearl necklace
But I would sin for a taste of freedom
This pretty bird is gonna fly the nest
Where do beggars go when they die?
'Cause I oughtta buy my ticket tonight
Unfold these dusty wings and fly
Where the broken songbirds fly
Where the broken songbirds fly
The moment I met him I knew he'd be mine
The sound of his fury felt like home
When his hands were around my throat I wasn't surprised
I knew better than to tell a single soul
Cleaned up the messes and his handprings from my dresses
Crawled back inside my head
Watched like a movie as if I never knew me
Living was playing dead
Just a girl trying to be a woman
Momma's shoes and her pearl necklace
But I would sin for a taste of freedom
This pretty bird is gonna fly the nest
Where do beggars go when they die?
'Cause I oughtta buy my ticket tonight
Unfold these dusty wings and fly
Where the broken songbirds fly
Where the broken songbirds fly
Where do the songbirds fly?
Where do the songbirds fly?
Where do the songbirds?
Where do the songbirds fly?
Where do the songbirds fly?
Where do the songbirds fly?
